Pittman, who won a championship with the Heat in 2011-12, was never expected to make Atlanta's final roster. He played nine minutes in his lone preseason appearance and will likely spend his days overseas or in the D-League this year. Tue, Oct 21, 2014 02:18:00 PM

The Atlanta Hawks have signed Dexter Pittman to a training camp contract.

The 26-year-old only played three regular season minutes during the 2013-14 season after spending much of it in the D-League. Despite owning a championship ring, Pittman will not provide any fantasy value if he makes the Hawks roster. Thu, Sep 25, 2014 09:14:00 AM

The Rockets signed him quickly after waiving Greg Smith earlier this month, but Pittman didn't even play. He's still overweight and will have a tough time getting back in the NBA. Mon, Apr 21, 2014 07:19:00 PM

Shelvin Mack underwent successful shoulder surgery on Tuesday, and he is expected to make a full recovery in 3-4 months.

Mack owns career-averages of 5.4 points and 2.8 assists on 41.4 percent shooting from the field. He should be ready to go by the start of next year's training camp, but as the third-string point guard in Atlanta, it'll take more than a few injuries for him to gain any sort of relevancy in fantasy leagues. Obviously he's not someone to target on draft day in standard leagues.

Kyle Korver (ankle, elbow) remains hopeful that he will be ready in time for training camp.

"I’m doing OK," Korver said. "Both ankle and elbow are progressing fine. I’m definitely hopeful that they will be ready to go by camp." Korver had surgery on his right elbow and his right ankle, but all signs point to him being ready to start the season. He posted averages of 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.9 3-pointers in 75 appearances last season, and he will once again be an elite option for any owner in need of 3-pointers.

Thabo Sefolosha (ankle) said he's progressing in his rehab, but is unsure of exactly when he'll be back on the court.

Sefolosha said he's feeling better after undergoing surgery on his broken right fibula that he suffered in an April altercation with police in New York City, but still doesn't have a timetable. "I am doing better every day," Sefolosha said. "The leg and ankle are feeling good but it is too early to say exactly when I’ll be back on the court." There is a chance that Sefolosha ends up as Atlanta's starting small forward with DeMarre Carroll gone, but he's still more of a defensive specialist and isn't worth a roster spot in standard fantasy leagues.

He was having another solid game before the injury, scoring six points with five rebounds and one block in 14 minutes. Taveres has a 7'9" wingspan and the Hawks will certainly be hoping they have the next Rudy Gobert on their hands. Of course, Taveres has a lot to prove.
